Bucky Moonshine's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (632) • $$

"Fantastic Food, but Stick to the MoonshineI had a great experience at Bucky Moonshine's! The food was absolutely delicious--hot, fresh, and perfectly complemented by their flavorful sauces. Everything on the plate was spot-on.Now, a tip for the drinks: save yourself the frustration and go straight for the moonshine. They have over 30 varieties to choose from, and it's their specialty for a reason. I tried the bottomless mimosas, but they were mostly orange juice, and the Bloody Mary, while packed with flavor, was missing that signature vodka kick.If you're looking for boozy cocktails, this might not be the place for you--unless you're ordering the moonshine. Overall, it's a spot worth visiting for the food and their standout moonshine selection!"

Damian's Cajun Soul Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (517) • $$

"We decided to grab some lunch before heading home after a Cowboys game, and we settled on Damian's.I wanted the smothered oxtails, but decided on fried ribs once I got to the serving area. They were AMAZING, and they gave us so much food.My husband got Salisbury steak, which wasn't his fave...but he really enjoyed the red beans and rice and mac and cheese. I got the ribs which were everyone's fave. They came with rice and brown gravy, and two side. The brown gravy tasted like the powdered mix to me, but you better believe I ate it...I didn't love the cabbage, it was a little bland, BUT, the collard greens were bomb!My pals got catfish and seemed to enjoy that as well, it was fresh and cooked to order. They also really loved the vanilla pound cake.Damian was up front with the crew serving, and by the patrons, it looks like it's a local fave. Was also really impressed with the lady at the register. She was helpful and service was top notch!"

"WOWwZZERS I was looking for seafood broil and I found this place. Originally, I've been unimpressed with all the seafood broils here in Dallas County so I was thinking I was going to have a decent one again. But then I had this! The food I ordered was Bucket #3 - RC Sauce / Medium Kick. When I tell you that shrimp was fat, it was fat (big and juicy)! The snow crab had a lot of meat in it as well! The sauce was absolutely bomblicious ! The perfect amount of lemon, butter, and spices. A little addicting in fact. The service was fast. The food was ready in 10 minutes. Which I find pretty crazy, because usually it takes a long time at other places. Didn't get a chance eat the restaurant since I ordered mines to-go but I'm sure the ambiance and experience would've been exceptional. Message to the people looking for delicious seafood broil in DFW or anyone visiting Dallas : y'all come check this place out !! They don't disappoint!!! The best seafood broil in DFW!!!"

The Free Man

★★★★☆ 3.6 (647) • $$

"My wife and I visited The Free Man Cajun Bar and Lounge today, and we were blown away by the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. We started with the Boudin Balls, which were sausage with rice, breaded, and fried to perfection. At $14.95, it was a great deal for such a tasty appetizer.For our main courses, my wife ordered the Hot Chick, a spicy fried chicken breast served with gravy over rice. It came with a side, so she opted for a salad. The dish was priced at $18.95 and was worth every penny. I tried the Crawfish Pasta, which featured crawdads in a rich, creamy sauce over pasta, topped with grilled or blackened chicken. At $28.95, it was a bit pricey, but the flavors were so amazing that I didn't mind.To drink, my wife had a sweet tea that was very southern-like, with a hint of lemon and a surprising berry taste. It was a refreshing complement to our meal.One thing to note is that a 20% gratuity is added to your bill, so be aware of that when dining here. Despite this, we highly recommend The Free Man for anyone looking for delicious Cajun food in a lively atmosphere."

"Believe the hype y'all! Aunt Irene's is the best Cajun/creole food spot in Dallas. I've been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. EVERYTHING is so good!! The flavors are bold, soulful & unique. If you love flavor, then you'll love it here!!!Besides food, it seems always busy but there's never a long crazy wait and the hospitality is always great. What I also love about Aunt Irene's is how vast & diverse their menu is. There is so much to choose from, and all of it is good!!! You must try it for yourself, if it sparks your interest."

"Excellent meal and the service was wonderful. I ordered grilled shrimp fettuccine. The order came out very quick and was cooked perfectly. I didn't even have time to finish my $5 house margarita. The portions were good. I brought home a nice portion of my fettuccine, but ate all of the shrimp. The only negative point in the evening was the people waiting to be seated were standing right beside our table. There was no other place for them to stand."

The Crab Station - Dallas

★★★★☆ 3.9 (321) • $$

"Looked up "crawfish dallas" and the second restaurant to show up was "The Crab Station Walnut Dallas" 4.4 stars so we decided to try it out on Friday night 2/16. I was already hesitant since it was a Friday night and I don't like waiting but I really wanted crawfish. To my surprise NO wait .. which to be honest had me a little more hesitant on how good the crawfish was going to be. We ordered 6 garlic parm wings that were very well cooked and seasoned. We started off with one pound of live crawfish (for $16, frozen were $9) and they were definitely worth going for! we also added sausage, corn and boiled eggs. we decided to try one pound of frozen to compare the two, the frozen were good but of course not as good and flavorful as the fresh pound but definitely not worth turning down. I also ordered a strawberry lemonade which was also so good i had to order a water so i wouldn't find the lemonade before the food came. Oh and we also ordered Fries!! SO good, hot/fresh and flavorful, fries are my favorite and these DID NOT Disappoint. I don't remember our waiters name (he wore glasses) he was very attentive (which i always appreciate), talked to us about crawfish season and made sure we were taken care of. GREAT service, we plan to visit again to try the lobster roll."

★★★★☆ 3.6 (315) • $$

"Came here on a weekend, on a game day - I was surprised it wasn't as busy! Really good place to be for sports, TVs everywhere for any game that's on. There's not a bad seat in the house, where you can't see what's going in so definitely a plus.Food was okay. They hit the mark on their appetizers! We all enjoyed the waffle cheese fries, mozzarella logs, & boudin balls. My friends had the lemon butter chicken, both said the flavor was good but that the chicken was a bit dry, they did enjoy the cheese corn grits. Pasta alfredeaux, my friend thought it could use more seasoning. I had the cajundilla, it's a heavy entree. There's a lot of flavors in there but they needed more than just onions to bring some freshness to it. I did enjoy the red beans & rice that they came with. Seemed like the sides were better than the main part of each entrée.Cleanliness 4/5, nothing is ever going to be perfect but the restroom needed more attention than what it had been given & our seats where kinda "eh" upon being seated.Staff & service, 5/5. Excellent! Shantiva was our waitress. She was attentive, polite, patient, & was knowledgeable about the menu. Great personality! Really any staff member we interacted with was super nice including the hostess & the servers that helped being our food out.Easy to pay by QR code, very convenient. Prices are fair, with lots to choose from on the menu. Overall a good experience!"

"So I stopped in here today and made a to go order for their seafood boil. I got the lemon pepper the number one. And actually I need to come back in here to dine in because the place is really nice inside and the ladies and the gentleman that greeted me at the door was very nice. . In total I paid all together 38 bucks for this meal. I got it mild and I must say it was good I just wish they gave me a little bit more shrimp because usually the other place i go to to give me more of the shrimp but they did give me a decent amount of snow crab so that was a plus but over it all I really enjoyed this place. I will be back to dine in soon."

"1) Boiled Crawfish looked a promising bright red. Pull the tail from the body. Shuck the shell of the tail off to get to the fibrous meat flavoured with piquant, aromatic Cajun-Créole boil mix. A section of corn on the cob & red new potatoes as accompaniments. I like eating the yellowish-brown "butter" from the head, but found it for the most part tasted stale. Perhaps the crawfish was frozen which is detrimental to the delicate crawfish butter.  Or the Boiled Crawfish had been cooked earlier and had been reheated hours if not a day later which allows the butter to lose its freshness. Anyway, it didn't have the superior flavour of what can be found in New Orleans or West Feliciana Parish.  2) 1/2 Crawfish Étouffée , 1/2 Fried Crawfish: Excellent, fried, sweet, fibrous crawfish tails covered with what may be corn starch created an Italian fritti like lightness & subtle crispiness. French fries were equally well finished. Must eat them soon to retain that exemplary just fried liveliness. Étouffée sauce has a buttery, golden reddish, brown tone. Smoothness comes from the toasted, brown roux. May be red mostly from tomato sauce. Just a touch of Cajun-Créole spice blend. If there were any Cajun-Créole Mirepoix of onions, celery, bell pepper, it was finely food processed. Soupçon of chicken broth to round out and give Umami to the thickened sauce. This version has flavours which are understated & subtle, but can be considered bland by some.  Rice acts as a barrier between the fried items from the Étouffée sauce. Small, toasted white french bread to sop up the sauce. The Cole Slaw was sweetened vinegar based with pronounced herbal french thyme, mixture of cabbage and what may be red bell pepper which was supposed to be a palate cleanser between bites of the Étouffée. Problem was its extreme, hyper saltiness which negated its role in refreshing the palate. 1-2a) Abita Purple Haze Lager Raspberry Lager was thirst quenching and had a light fruitiness which was especially appropriate for some of the saltiness that was encountered. Service here is perfunctory. Not unfriendly, but disinterested. Passing the time and doing just enough to get by. There wasn't any "Laissez les bons temps rouler." joie de vivre at Charlie's Créole Kitchen. The food has its ups and downs.  3- stars for mediocre food & service."

"Hubby & I LOVE this place. When we head to the Chinese Supermarket in Carrollton, we always plan our shopping trip around stopping in here for some cajun inspired seafood delights. First of all they have beer on ice & that's always nice! haha. We love that this is a "Quick serve/Self serve" Cajun seafood place that has amazing food & is a great value. It's a very casual hole in the wall kinda place in a strip mall, just like you would find in a small town in French Louisiana somewhere. OuiOui. The seafood is always cooked perfectly & the coleslaw is amazing. We love the coleslaw & fries here. Love that they add purple onion to the po'boys. Not on authentic NOLA bread but very very good french bread. Will Return. Highly Recommend."

"My uncle & I went to try this place today & I have to say it was amazing from the decor, the drink menu, & the food, FABULOUS! It was like walking into a place on bourbon st. All the decor, the music was great but not so loud that you couldn't enjoy the company you were with. We did have to stand to be seated for a while even though there were only 4 other tables , however, 1 was a big group and there were only 2 servers so they did do a pretty good job. I ordered the red beans & rice with blacked shrimp & sausage spicy, while my uncle went for the crawfish étouffée regular. We also ordered hush puppies. The hush puppies were so crispy on the outside with the most delicious flavor & moist , not too thick on the inside. They came with a sauce that was good but I preferred them without the sauce. My dish red beans & rice , was absolutely perfect. The shrimp were perfectly cooked & seasoned, the sausage was excellent. The beans were seasoned to perfection, the only thing is I didn't get any hint of spice so I wonder what the regular tastes like? My uncle's étouffée was a dance recital in my mouth. The roux, the crawfish, the veggies, all dancing around as if to win a competition that it had already won. I will definitely be getting that next time. If you guys have not tried this place you must. They have hurricanes & fish bowl drinks to boot.They are closed on Mondays so don't go the & be disappointed! Just go then Yelp about what you think!!"

The oysters Rockefeller were really tasty, it took me so long to eat it so the cheese hardened, but it was still really good. Let's talk about their po boys! Packed with meat! Realty delicious!! Our waiter was really awesome, he was really fast with everything, and a really nice guy.
